Fear seems to be a very powerful tool this election season.


I'm sure John McCain's phone people are playing on the fear and emotions of the elderly:
"We need John McCain to continue this global fight against terror. Vote for him!"

I think we need to begin appealing to the fear factor but in a different sense. The sense of economic crisis. We have got to help the elderly understand that Ron Paul is the only candidate with real solutions to our economy.

Absolutely. People care more about losing their wealth and standard of living than some crazy ass terrorist.

Once the public realise the extent of the economic crisis and the only candidate who will address it. It's game over for the war-mongers. The war-mongers will be seen as part of the problem of the coming crisis and reason people will begin to lose their wealth.

By God does Ron need a miracle to get all the air-time required.

Exactly how can you send suggestions to the campaign for them to start peddling fear?

Cmon they need to stress the fact that ONLY Dr. Paul is an economist and a physician.

Who else would have the knowledge and knohow to fix two of the biggest problems in America today the economy and healthcare.

People are too stupid to realise that their freedoms have been taken away but they are smart enough to realise that they are having to work longer hours these days just to make ends meet... now they need to be told WHY and how to fix this.

And we wonder why terrorism is a big issue to most people

Fear itself is not effective. Confronting fear is very popular however.
